Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Scaling up Investments in Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience
7448310 P011503001
This project supports the Government of Bangladesh’s efforts to integrate climate change adaptation in large infrastructure projects and urban plans to make them more resilient and integrate nature-based solutions (NBS) with biodiversity co-benefits. It also seeks to incorporate the views of the most vulnerable, particularly women, in project design. Project activities include: (1) Conducting high-resolution climate risk assessments and stress tests for infrastructure assets; (2) Strengthening the capacity of 200 Climate Resilient Infrastructure Officers in the Government of Bangladesh; (3) Integrating nature-based solutions and other adaptation solutions in at least four large-scale urban investment projects; and (4) Building the capacity of infrastructure planners and designers to meaningfully engage vulnerable communities in designing and planning large-scale green infrastructure projects.
